    About this ebook

    You're a developer who knows nothing to ASP.NET MVC. Which is fine, except that you need to start coding your next application using ASP.NET MVC 5.

    Don't worry: I have you covered. I've been training hundreds of developers like you during years, and converted my experience into this book. I know from experience teaching what takes more time to learn in ASP.NET MVC, and will spend time only where appropriate.

    Read this book, and you can code your ASP.NET MVC 5 application using Visual Studio 2015 within a week. Or your money back.

    Printed paperback version available here.

    Arnaud Weil

    Arnaud Weil is a born developper: when he was a kid he was controlling his electric train using an Atari ST and some self-made electronics, then as a teenager created and distributed worldwide one of the first Web browsers for some of the first pocket computers, when the Web was just beginning. In fact, he loves coding. Then came .NET and from 2001 Arnaud has been coding using ASP.NET, WPF, WinForms, Silverlight, WCF, XAML for all kind of applications from factory tools to smarphone applications to house control solutions. When not coding, he teaches fellow developers and provides consulting for development teams to reach their targets in the most efficient way. His status as a freelancer allows him to help his clients with many different projects. As things move on, Arnaud also learned to love HTML5, JavaScript and all the great tools that allow building professional software with those technologies. He puts an emphasis on writing modular, clever programs using agile methods and a bunch of automated testing. But what Arnaud enjoys most is helping other developers: that's why he teaches, speaks, and began writing books.

      Introduction

      What this book is not

      I made my best to keep this book small, so that you can learn ASP.NET MVC quickly without getting lost in petty details. If you’re looking for a reference book where you’ll find answers to all the questions you may have within the next 4 years of your ASP.NET MVC practice, you’ll find other heavy books for that.

      My purpose is to swiftly provide you with the tools you need to code your first ASP.NET MVC application and be able to look for more by yourself when needed. While some authors seems to pride themselves in having the thickest book, in this series I’m glad I achieved the thinnest possible book for my purpose. Though I tried my best to keep all of what seems necessary, based on my 14 years experience of teaching .NET.

      I assume that you know what ASP.NET MVC is and when to use it. In case you don’t, read the following What is ASP.MVC chapter.

      Prerequisites

      In order for this book to meet its goals, you must :

      Have basic experience creating applications with .NET and C#

      Have working knowledge of HTML

      Know what a Web application is
